What is the Road Management Plan
The Road Management Plan (Plan) specifies the over-riding standards which apply to Council’s road maintenance activities.
The Plan applies to all public roads, roadways, pathways, road infrastructure and road-related infrastructure within the municipal district of the Council for which Council is the co-ordinating or responsible road authority under the Act and which are otherwise listed on Council’s register of public roads under section 19 of the Act, noting that the Head, Transport for Victoria is the responsible road authority for freeways and arterial roads under s.37 of the Road Management Act 2004.
The Plan sets standards and priorities in relation to the following road maintenance activities
- Pro-active Inspections
- Recognition of defects
- Response time to repair defects
to provide for the safe, efficient, appropriate use of the road infrastructure in accordance with the needs of Council’s community, and the wider public.
